After my first post here I noticed that all the solid green ones were
folders owned by jjj:jjj. *Files* owned by jjj:jjj were not affected.
And folders and files owned by 500 were not affected. I should add that
when I say "solid green bar" I mean the background and the text are
both dark green. The only way to tell the filename is by guessing from
the length of the bar.

So I did sudo chown -R* jjj:jjj /media/Movies/*. After it ended I am
now the owner of all the files and folders, except .Trash, which is
still owned by 500. I specifically tried to take ownership of .Trash as
well, but the terminal said "silly boy, that file does not exist." Or
something like that. OK, who cares.

But the interesting thing is that the ones that had solid green names
before still have solid green names, and the ones with normal names
still have normal names, even though I now own all of them.

My next theory is that there is a date involved here. Folders created
after or before some date are the ones with the solid green names. Is
there a way to do a ls command and have it sort by date of creation?

* Why do some commands require an uppercase R, others a lowercase r,
  and some will take either? C'mon programmers, get your act together
  here.
